Select the most suitable alternative to fill in the blank/blanks in the sentence to make it meaningful:
The Police ____________ the mob.

Correct option is D

• Explanation: The sentence requires a word that means to break up or scatter a group, especially a crowd. “Dispersed” perfectly fits the context of controlling or managing a mob.
• Grammatical rule used: This is a simple past tense verb used with a collective noun “Police.”
• Explanation of the rule in Hindi: जब हम एक समूह (जैसे Police) के लिए कार्य का वर्णन करते हैं, तो हम सामान्यतः क्रिया का बहुवचन रूप या सामान्य past tense का प्रयोग करते हैं।
• Example: The crowd dispersed peacefully after the speech.
• Meanings of other options:
 – (a) Scattered: Spread out randomly or disorderly; not as organized or official. (अव्यवस्थित रूप से फैलाना)
 – (b) Disbanded: Used for organized groups, like armies or clubs, not mobs. (संघटन को समाप्त करना)
 – (c) Drove: Forced someone or something to move in a direction, not appropriate in this crowd context. (जबर्दस्ती भगाना)
